Sew Along Fun (Part 2)

August 2, 2016 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 2 Comments

Boutique Baby Bibs

The Instagram Sew Along for my book, A Spoonful of Sugar is wrapping up in a few weeks. It has been wonderful to see all the amazing projects that are being made and shared over on Instagram. It is such a thrill to see how everyone has made the project their own by their choice of materials and special finishing touches/embellishments. Head over to Instagram to see what everyone is making. Be sure to follow the #aspoonfulofsugarsal hashtag.

For readers who are not on Instagram, I wanted to share some of the fantastic work that has been made over the past month. Our lovely guest judge, Amy Sinibaldi, from Nana Company, has been doing a fantastic job in selecting our winners each round – their have been so many worthy participants. Check out our previous post, Sew Along Fun, to see the winners of Round 1 and 2. Our winners have won some fantastic bundles of fabric and supplies curated by Alisha from Ministry of Fabric.

The winner of Round 3 was Jen from @lilmaisiedaisy for her Pretty Panda Pouch.  She also made some sweet Kitty pouches as well.

Round 3

Our Round 4 winner was Gwawr from @patchwork_and_me for her beautiful Sewing Portfolio. Gwawr cleverly added an extra insert to provide additonal storage.
